When i turn on the laptop why does it takes so long to load up? and also when i click on my apllications it take 5 minutes or more to load up.....what hould i do?? it celeron

Answers :

Hello. If your laptop is old it is slow because the solder in the circuit boards slowly fry over a period of a few years. The only fix is a new laptop. I personally but the cheapest one I can now days, under 400. and when it gets painfully slow I replace it.

I am trying to burn a DVD that is 1 hour and 49 minutes long and it will not burn correctly. On a DVD-RW it only recorded just a small amount at the beginning and also had music in the background. I tried a DVD-R and it would not work at all. It also seems that the video file is larger than what the DVD can hold but I am using 4.7GB (2hours).

My Laptop suddenly takes 15 minutes to turn on from the loading screening (where it says acer after its turned on and the blue loading bar is going) and simple tasks are now slower, such as the media player cannot play songs without it skipping, the mouse lags and other software seems to take longer to load.

The best thing you can do is add more RAM. As more programs and documents are loaded the more RAM it needs. However, there are also a couple of other things you can try first. This will clean up all the old /tmp files that are not needed and also fix ...

When I click on internet explorer using my laptop, my att.net home page comes up but when I try to click on something it just PINGS and won't let me, so I have to keep opening pages until I can click on something and it lets me surf the web.
